While Rowan and I were in Seattle recently, seeing the bone marrow and intestinal failure specialists, we decided to use his Foundation to bless patients at Seattle Children's Hospital too. We always give to the hospital in San Antonio, and we branched out to the hospital in New Orleans last year, so this was a nice to add yet another location to our mission. Rowan helped me pick out all the things that he thinks patients like to play with most while they are stuck in the hospital (and he should know:). Thank you to everyone who helps make our giving programs like this possible. It helps Rowan and I so much, to take the focus off of our own medical problems, and help others.
First we made our trip to Target in Seattle, and buried Rowan in goodies for boys and girls of all ages.
Back at the hotel, we sorted through everything, put Rowan Jameson Windham Foundation labels on each item, and sorted them by age into bags.
Finally, we delivered them to the Seattle Children's Hospital Child Life/Volunteer Office, after one of Rowan's long days of appointments. They were very grateful, and asked how we got started doing this. They let Rowan know that they looked forward to helping him when he was back at Seattle Children's Hospital too, and said that it looked like he picked the perfect items out.
Until next time Seattle...
